Introduction and Project OverviewHi everyone, my name is Walt Carter. I'm a Senior 3D artist of 20 years' experience working for companies such as BreakAway Games, Electronic Arts, MicroProse, and ABC Interactive. Where I worked on titles such as Monday Night Football Command and Conquer Kane's Wrath and Lord of the Rings, Rise of the Witch King. In this course, we're going to discuss concept sculpting, the making of HK-124, military biped escort. Some of the major topics we'll discuss in this course include, exploring silhouettes and a 2D tool titled Mischief to create our concept image. Use the new Z model brush to introduce a technique of polysketching with QMesh. Polypainting a weathered look to our model using various masking techniques. Using KeyShot and HDRI images to quickly create a quality render. Finally, we'll export and set up our new model for real time usage in a hub tool such as 3ds Max. By the end of the training, you'll have learned a set of techniques that'll allow you to effectively create a production friendly concept model that can be easily placed anywhere within your production pipeline. I'm excited to work with Pluralsight and share these techniques with you. So sign in or sign up and let's get started.
